    We purchased this model microwave to fit into our new remodel kitchen 7yrs ago which stop working recently. We needed a replacement with the same dimensions to fit our location, it was great to find Panasonic is still offering this model microwave. It has been excellent microwave for our needs.

    While it has a large footprint on the counter, this microwave is very powerful. Reheat and cook times are lower than other microwaves I have used in the past. It took a little bit to get used to but it does help to make it more convenient. The knob selection for cook time also took a little adjustment but is very convenient once you get the hang of it.

    After our old Microwave died and we wanted another with over 1200 watts. This one has a little more room inside. We haven't gotten around to trying all the features but it was up and running in no time. We're very pleased.

    Does a great job defrosting meat & making popcorn

    Know how when you defrost ground hamburger or chicken and it actually cooks the edges and the middle is a brick of ice? This solves 90% of that with what I'll assume is magic. Does a nice job on popcorn too. I will say that it's a powerful microwave and I usually stop it early on the reheats, as food gets very hot. Highly recommended.

    Great microwave for the price. Bought it to replace an older Panasonic microwave that came with the home when I bought it. The new one is every bit as good as the older one and being a full size means the flexibility to cook larger items. It cooks very evenly and the built-in settings for warming, defrosting, pop corn, etc. all work very well

    Good large size and powerful, but the knob turning to the desired heating time is a little imprecise and difficult to use. Overall, it's a good microwave and we are pleased.

    excellent microwave I've had its twin for over ten years, 1250 watts heats extra quick, decided to take my old one that still works fine and install it at my rental.

    I love all the great features and the interior is much larger than i anticipated. The Turbo defrost & sensor reheat work better than I thought they would. I was a little worried about the dial rather then number pad but pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to operate. Would definitely recommend.

    This is the second time I had to return and exchange this microwave. Light goes out constantly which wouldn't be a problem, except when that happens, can't see when food is about to spill while cooking. The dial button is a pain to use, prefer the dial pad. This microwave is quite unpredictable. Sometimes it works, other times not at all which is super frustrating. Hated it.

    This is a one great powerful microwave. I recently had to replace one when recent storm caused power outage and upon restoration of power, surge messed up the motherboard. Once change they made since 3 years ago was to switch the light to LED.

    My "old" microwave didn't survive the power problems due to storms. Since I have always had a Panasonic I searched for the identical item and found it available at Best Buy in Peoria,Illinois. The microwave is easy to use & I am most comfortable with it.
